Chris K. from PSNStores writes: Yesterday we posted a story about how the newly released version of Angry Birds on minis fixed some performance issues the older version had. The only catch being that users who purchased that older version, published by Chillingo, would have to repurchase the game if they wanted the fixes. We reached out to Rovio to get a comment on the problem and they were gracious enough to respond.
According to Rovio, the redundancies are due to Angry Birds Dream Blast "not... performing as expected."
The Japan-based entertainment conglomerate is expected to pay about $1 billion for Rovio Entertainment.
If you want to remain relevant you need a mobile powerhouse. MS got Minecraft, maybe King soon, T2 got Zynga, EA got Glu, Tencent got most of the other big ones.
Sony is likely looking for one too or they will be left behind.
Sony already owns the #2 highest grossing mobile game ever in Fate/Grand Order.
That game is close to Genshin Impact levels of monthly revenue.
Well angry birds still makes money so it’s not a dead horse. They just need another hit.
Looks like something MS would grab. I wont be surprised some how ms gets Sega with this included magically.
We could fund more games like Sonic Mania
We could buy the music rights back to Sonic 3
We could reboot some old franchises like Ristar, Shinobi, Gunstar Heroes or Golden Axe
...Nah. Angry Birds it is
Wait, have they even made anything since then? Thought they were a one-hit wonder lol.
I didn't know they did a bunch of stuff prior to Angry Birds:

Pretty much everything since has been a spin off. Now maybe Sega will make Angry Chaos or something similar.
Mojang only made one game and Microsoft still purchased them for $4 billion
Sometimes one property is all you need especially when it’s lucrative
Rovio should be embarrassed over the way it's handled Angry Birds.
good to see they support their game, but they really need to work on a new IP, yes Angry Birds is popular, but they're milking it too much.
How about they solve the problem of it being 4 bucks on the PSN.

Two points well made.
